RB's yacht was | designed by rules of thumb, a little trial and error and almost no | optimization. Computer power was highly inadequate in the mid-80's and stone | age-like compared to the computation power available today. Think of pac-man | back then and X-Box today. Rob's yacht, though it may have a few good | points, is of Pac-Man technology. Today's performance sailboat designs will | run circles around his boat designed in the era of donkey kong platform | shoes. | | Amen! I can tell that Crantz and Gilligan are both jealous of Capt. Rob's fine vessel. It will be the lava lakes for you both if you do not repent of your coveting. Amen and Praise. Paladin -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Rest assured I am not capable of jealousy for I own a fine blue water cruiser with a large, spacious oversize cockpit. More importantly, the fine vessel is colored yellow! Glory!! |
